Neutron Age in Graphite-Water Lattices.

Description: The Fermi age of thermal neutrons in a lattice containing both water and graphite in some sort of weighted average of the age in water and in graphite independently, with correction for volumes of non-moderating elements or voids. The correct weighting function has been in question during design calculations for the NPR. This paper presents a very simple and direct approach to the problem, resulting in a weighting equation which seems to be theoretically sound. Unfortunately, simple theories ca… more

Nuclear Safety Specifications for Fuel Element Manufacturing Processes

Description: Nuclear safety specifications for storage, banding, or transfer of enriched uranium slugs depend upon slug arrangement and geometry, the presence of a moderator such as water or wood, and the presence of other fissionable materials and reflectors. Specifications are given for enriched I and E uranium slugs, solid uranium slugs of two types, and aluminum-uranium alloy slugs.
